GOP Candidate Tony Zirkle Wishes Adolf a Happy Birthday

<- The "Happy Birthday" table banner is a nice touch.

On Sunday, Tony Zirkle, a Republican candidate for Indiana's 2nd District, took time out from saving the economy by shredding vintage Playboys (of course!) so he could attend a 119th birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler. He claims he was only there to talk about his experience as a state's attorney in Indiana, his wacky theories about pornography, and to preach the gospel, so of course his being there had absolutely nothing to do with his segregation plan that would allow blacks to "have six states, so instead of having one half-black senator, well they would have 12.

Now it turns out that the St. Joseph County Republican Party is trying to distance itself from Zirkle. I wonder why?

Sad thing is, in the GOP, such a stunt would still not cost him support!

how about tying together the story of Prescott Bush, Fritz Thyssen, Averill Harriman, Union Bank of New York and Nazi Germany.

A bit more relevant to today than some minor hack cozying up to FBI-ran cointelpro-styled Neo-nazis.

Is that Granpa Bush's ole buddy up there on the wall?

Hahahaha.

Is this for real? This is too much.

Is he really a Rethuglican? I'd believe it more if he was actually shredding a copy of the Constitution rather than Playboys - we need vintage Playboys.

La Commedia continue'

Come to think of it, since Bill O'Lielly once compared Adrianna Huffington to the Nazis, do you think the Felaffel King will even make mention of this shameful business? Don't bet on it.

Now this is the type of crap we need to clean up. Thanks for posting it Bill.

Somehow, that was one of the scariest video ever posted on C&L.

anyone have a link to the entire speech? i need a laugh

and dang, before the boob shredded that first edition of playboy, i wish he woulda called me...i woulda bought it off him

i coulda made a nice piece of change for it on ebay

and can someone explain how this guy keeps getting the repug nom? are there that many nazis in indiana?

"I'm a uniter, not a divider" - The biggest lie EVER.

Yeah, the lizards of the lgf are disgusted with this guy.

Confront the reality. Even though it is uncomfortable to do so.

You know, Godwin's Law breaks both ways: if you voluntarily associate yourself with Hitler, none of us are under any obligation to even engage your arguments. You may be summarily dismissed.

DID SOMEBODY SAY JOHN "THE REPUBLICAN" MCCAIN

Zirkle is a Republican. I say that the first debate between Gone InSane and the Democratic nominee must concentrate entirely on why InSane has not rejected and denounced Zirkle.

now we see why obama is having a hard time in the midwest.....this guy probably loves clinton

Lucianne's cheeto-addled spawn Jonah must be in deep fits of denial over this one.

The expressions on the faces of the two guys sitting at the table, the sound of his voice, the pic of Hitler, the birthday decor, just the whole thing was creepy as hell. Plus I heard a baby in the background. I guess when the baby gets older they can tell it one of the first birthday parties that it attended was one for Hitler.

Why am I not surprised? Just need the confederate flag and Robert E Lee and you have the trifecta!

Meet the face and future of the modern GOP.

"St. Joseph County Republican Party is trying to distance themselves from Zirkle": OMG they haven't expelled him already?

Much like McCain, distancing himself from Hagee's remarks. They still want those votes though.

So, are we allowed to say Republicans ARE Nazis now?

The Crapture @ 18:

Jonahs on a corn syrup IV drip. He thinks adding tonnage will double his IQ. 12 is a good number.

Zirkle is a freak who would do or say anything for the publicity.

The South Bend Tribune article is beyond the pay wall now, but here is a link to Taking Down Words, a good IN blog-

http://www.takingdownwords.com/taking_down_words/2008/02/zirkle-time-cra...

But perhaps his most memorable suggestion was bringing back the guillotine to punish child sex offenders.

"There was a lot of misunderstanding about what I said about the guillotine," Zirkle said Wednesday by phone. "If you look at my original press release, I said I was attempting to stimulate debate."

That's not to say he's pulling back those comments. Zirkle said Wednesday that although he's not in favor of capital punishment except in the most extreme cases, the guillotine is a fast way of executing someone.

Oh yeah....I'd like to hear from the many WWII vets still alive of wht they think of the U.S. flag being displayed on a podium along with the Swastika Blutfahne? (Bloodflag)

gotta be a perv

A porn-obsessed Nazi segregationist? Sounds like the perfect Republican to me.

Is this a Monty Python skit?
I bet Zirkle "hung out" with them after the gig.

From the site linked in the post about shredding Playboy magazines: "He also claimed to be the 'pro-sex candidate' and said by shredding the magazine he was trying 'to set an example for men to put away their pornography and focus their attention on their wives.'

"According to Zirkle, the national economy would boom 'if more men were married and in healthy relationships,' because their creativity and untapped talents would be released."

I got a better look at him at that site. He looks like a patient from a mental ward. This guy is seriously weird.

OMG I think I just peed myself.

OK OK try and breathe!

[In English next time, huh? Site Monitor]

I believe Mr Zirkle has issues

Remind me to go around Indiana on my Winnebago tour of the US.

The comments are acting all funky. Good time for me to check out.
I hope everyone has a good evening.

Joe Leiberman is giving the Democrats a bad name, just as this guy is giving the Republican a bad name. I know after Katrina Hurricane and the levy breaking and the slow response to help most of the Afro-American doesn't paint a pretty picture for the Republican. I think we all gone pretty soft for awhile for the criminal to set up shop in both party. I would encourage your fellow Republican to clean up the shop and same for the Democrats to sweep the likes of Joe Leiberman off the front entrance. I trust that Barack is not setting up a black supremacist, as Joe seem to be a Jewish supremest, and Tony Zirkle to be a Aryan supremacist.

No more divisiveness and get anyone who is honest, fair and compassionate to represent all people. No more Labeling all Republican base on this chump Zirkle.

wow - did you hear the kid in the background - who would bring their kid to this thing? Completely sick

And of course Zirkle didn't even so much as take one little peek inside those Playboy magazines before shredding them.

At least not in public.

Zeeesh! What a creep!

What next for his shredder? Harry Potter?

Wot, no mention of "Precious Bodily Fluids???" :) :)

Come on!!! Thats hilarious. How many people had to sign something to get this guy on the GOP ballot in Indiana and what percentage of the population of Indiana is that? hahahahaha

I looked at his website - he says he's for repealing the Bush tax-cuts for the top 1-2% and that he favors a one time immigration amnesty. On the other hand, there's Hitler's Birthday party, his "kinder gentler" segregation pogram, er, program and the haircut. The haircut worries me most of all. What do you call it? It's not really "high and tight". Maybe the "Young Ratzinger"? Or the "Eagle's Nest Special"? The "Horst Wessel"? Anyway, by Indiana Republican standards he seems to be actually left of Dan Burton. Sorry hoosiers, but your state is fucked up.

He'll have a job at Faux by the end of the week.

I can't imagine ordering that ice cream cake at Baskin Robbins...

@39Forrest Prince says,

He's a republican. Sorry, but Harry Potter will have to wait until they're done with the Constitution.

Now I'm from South Bend and let me assure you that we're not all like this. Also, in their defense, they've been trying to distance themselves form the nutjob for a while. He was the same guy that asked whether desegregation really had worked. I don't think he's representative of the vast majority of the party up here. At least I hope not.

No, no, the painting on the wall is clearly of Hilter, and the guy on the left of Zirkle is a descendent of Heimlich Bimmler.

Nazi's are so twentieth century, Fascist Corporatiest are closer to the Blackwater thugs image.

Nazis?, just a nod to the Bush family fathers.

According to Nazi introducing him, "Tommy" Zirkle is a graduate of the Naval Academy where he was president of his class and graduated in the top 5%. His peers at the Naval Academy made him CLASS PRESIDENT!!!

Jonah keeps his pants unzipped just to count to eleven, so 12 is kind of like infinity to him (and infinity to Jonah is a kind of car).

I would bet 1000 bucks this guys has some hardcore interracial pornography hidden in his Bible.

Zirkle?

That's a jewish name, isn't it?

If he hasn't been busted already, I bet he gets busted at some point-child ponography, prostitute, something. It's almost a given.

Oh, If it were only Karl Rove at the birthday party.

That would be oh so funny of a scandal.

OBAMA '08!

Well, there's a head figure in the KKK that lives just a little way from here. Wouldn't let his daughter sit next to black kids on the bus. Pointy hat must have been too tight.

Sorry to sort of go OT but Chris Matthews just showed two 527 groups ads that are coming out against Obama. One is being shown in NC and of course Matthews gave it national air time for free. That one is about Rev Wright. The other is a group calling itself exposeObama. This ad was made by the same guy who made the Willie Horton ad. Jesus, the right wing of our nation is hateful and nasty. McCain is covering his ass by asking the groups to take the ads down and of course they are not.

I remember how all the cable channels showed the swiftboat ads over and over for free. We should raise hell if they start doing that again.

While I was away from the computer I was thinking about this guy Zirkle. Just because he might be smart, that doesn't negate him being some sort of pervert.

Indiana NAZI's? I hate Indiana NAZI's.

In a story in Tuesday’s edition of The Tribune, Zirkle said he wasn’t saying which side of the debate he’d take but that segregation might be a way to deal with the high rate of black men in prison and out-of-wedlock births among blacks.

Jake S. @ 4:

Hahahaha.

Is this for real? This is too much.

Unfortunately, all too real. We live over the border to the north; close enough to work with people from that area (Mr. G works in South Bend). My coworkers from that area area appalled. Even the crazy one that voted for Bush twice and swears he would do so again - totally appalled.
Oh, and Zirkle's explanation/lame-ass excuse for this? "They invited me to be there". Supposedly according to the SB Tribune he has stated publicly that he would speak to ANY group that invited him. So he did. I would call this one of those open mouth insert foot moments but his past history of general insanity does not give me much faith in that rationalization.

Jake S. @ 4:

Hahahaha.

Is this for real? This is too much.

I was wondering the same thing! This has to be fake. I know that there are nooks and crannies of this country that actually are populated with people stupid enough to vote for some horrible representatives...but really? For real?

the republican party has some serious problems

Anyone who ponders the effects of pornography this much obviously has a porn addiction.

The grand old party, up to their grand old ideas, keeping America safe.

Shameless scumbags.

Nazis, in MY America??
Oh dear.

This is messed up. As someone with brown skin I wish I could laugh with you all.

If only all Republicans were this honest.

Best quote in the whole article right here.

"Nazism, socialism and fascism are polar opposites of what the Republican Party stands for," [Republican Party chairman for St. Joseph County, Chris] Riley said.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True enough as far as socialism goes but if he's trying to enter the "Most lies in a row" contest with Cheney, hey, two out of three ain't bad!

Wow... gotta love those Republicans. LOL!

What the hell is this? Is this for real? Wow. Republicans, after almost 30 years of hell, still manage to amaze me.

pissed off patricia @ 33:

I believe Mr Zirkle has issues

I think he HAD issues. He shredded them.

What a hoot. This one is going to have me laughing for days. Thank you Mr. Zirkle!

I dont mean to single out Indiana (seriously) but through knowing a little about U.S. history and the past of the KKK, it seems the two were once very familiar with one another, which makes me wonder a bit just how ingrained that past remains today. Would it affect the primary vote against Obama? I really dont know. I hope that race is never an issue, anywhere, but I know better

pissed off patricia @ 36:

The comments are acting all funky. Good time for me to check out.
I hope everyone has a good evening.

Yea, noticed that

I live in South Bend INdiana, in the 2nd district, and we've been putting up with this crazy nut. He's actually a lawyer in the area, and he claims he'll go anywhere he's invited to speak. Mind you, Chicago Isn't even in our district, so I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with him. The funny thing is, there are 3 Repubs running for the nomination, 2 had a debate.....and only 6 people showed up, including Zirkle hahaha

But...but...but... it's the liberals who are fascists

Whoa. This video doesn't bode well for the theory of evolution.

119? Finally a right-wing politician older than John McCain.

Zirkle stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.

I'll speak before any group that invites me, Zirkle said Monday. I've spoken on an African-American radio station in Atlanta.

Yeah, because speaking on an African-American radio station and speaking to a bunch of Nazi's is the same thing... Jesus! Where do they find these people?

Why are you so upset? After WWII some of the most notorious Nazi war criminals were recruited by the USA to come and work "and we will forget". The chicken is coming home to roost now so stop the charade of being upset about this.

How dare they call out Obama for not wearing a flag on his lapel when one of their own is actively supporting and praising the leader of the enemy our country (and my grandfather) fought in World War II.

You cannot find someone more un-American than that.

Was the meeting planned as a Zirkle jerk?

Carl_pdx @ 91:

Was the meeting planned as a Zirkle jerk?

Oh, THAT was good! lmfao

With the whole "flag pin = patriotism" mess that the right has thrown onto Obama with the media lapping it up so eagerly, I wonder who in the media will point out that the American flag is on the wrong side in this photo. It should be displayed on the right as viewed by the speaker facing the audience. Putting the American flag on the left side when viewed from the podium here is incredibly disrespectful, in my opinion anyway... and according to the flag code.

Indiana isn't called "North Alabama" for no reason ..

When I first moved to Milwaukee in the late 80's I visited a German Bar by Mitchell Field on April 20th (say no more as Milwaukeean's will immediately know this establishment).

A USAF refueling wing stationed at the airport had lunch at the bar and when they pulled out to return to post the place turned into little Munich. A dozen or so old Germans drank, sang, ate, had cake and relished in all things Fuhrer. It was quite interesting and a real education. The men shared glorious stories and their recollections were not those that I expected. Hitler, for all his faults, in their memory was an excellent administrator who surrounded himself with brilliant underlings that led a defeated nation out of depression in the most hostile of worlds... Russia to the right of me, England to the left. One gent, born in Hamburg, shared a story that as a child he was being bathed for the first time in weeks when his mother scooped him up naked, rushed to the underground as bombs fell on top of the two. Another man was a U-Boat submariner, one a tanker. The rest only youth albeit, Hitler Youth. Talk to the oldsters before they leave us. What they will tell you is not what history books print.

A good book for anyone interested in the real World War II is Chris Bellamy's "Absolute War, Soviet Russia In The Second World War".

Tony Zirkle and Joe Leiberman, who says there is no diversity in the Republican party?

What is it with you liberals that you can't ever spell the man's name right? It's Adolph Coors, Adolf Hitler. Big difference. Well, maybe not ...

Adolphus Busch once told my dad that Adolph Coors made shitty beer.

Celebrating Hitler's birthday? Forced separation of the races?

Are these the issues Americans really care about?

What I, and the mainstream media want to know is: does the man wear a lapel flag pin???

A more accurate description would be "little Berlin". Munich is the capital of Bavaria; Bavarians in general hated Hitler. When he finally visited there the decision was made to blockade his entrance into the city. Bavarian State Police formed up in the street (Maximillianstrasse) and fired on his motorcade when it would not stop. They killed 14 officers and Hitler turned tail and ran. The next day he snuck back into the city, had the 14 officers lying in state in front of the Dominican church and decreed that all citizens pass by and pay their respects. Half of them cut the line, ducked down an alley and took off. It pissed Hitler off, so he stuck a concentration camp nearby and, supposedly, never returned to Bavaria.
I heard this story from a good friend of ours who serves in the Bavarian Parliament. He was showing us some sights around the Marianplatz and gave us a lot of good history, since my family was from that area. Bavarians are rebels, which is fine by me.

Bavarian State Police formed up in the street (Maximillianstrasse) and fired on his motorcade when it would not stop. They killed 14 officers and Hitler turned tail and ran. The next day he snuck back into the city, had the 14 officers lying in state in front of the Dominican church and decreed that all citizens pass by and pay their respects. Half of them cut the line, ducked down an alley and took off. It pissed Hitler off, so he stuck a concentration camp nearby and, supposedly, never returned to Bavaria.
I heard this story from a good friend of ours who serves in the Bavarian Parliament. He was showing us some sights around the Marianplatz and gave us a lot of good history, since my family was from that area. Bavarians are rebels, which is fine by me.

I think you're overstating the case for Bavaria just a bit, Gretchen. While Munich had a significant Socialist and Communist presence- a presence that, before Hitler concentrated his power, often controlled that city- it was also the city that gave birth to Hitler's National Socialists. The rest of Bavaria- largely rural, with the other cities nowhere approaching Munichs population- was full of conservative Catholics.

I've also got to point out that while Hitler sold Bavarians on his ideas of "traditional German values", his anti-semitism didn't resonate there as much as it did in eastern Germany (Prussia, Saxony) and Austria. Bavaria never had a large Jewish presence, but those other areas did. Just sayin'...

119th birthday! Shit! I didn't send a card or anything. Damn.

I believe most of the men were from Hamburg but, it was interesting all the same. My only regret is that I felt no sense of shock or embarrassment when realizing I was at a birthday party for Hitler.

Q: What do you call call a meeting attended by Tony Zirkle?

A: A Zirkle-jerk.

Ha, ha. What the hell, you may as well laugh at these fascist bastards, or they'll drive you insane.

You haven't seen anything yet. We grow them stupid in Indiana! According to you know legalized prostitution brought down the Roman Empire? Oh it gets better:

My understanding of history is that anti-porn militants are the only effective pacifists. For example, Emperor Augustus ended about 50 years of civil war by outlawing adultery and by giving tax credits to married citizens who had children. Josiah took down the porn cultists of his day and the Egyptians volunteered to fight his battles for him around 609 B.C. Conversely, Augustine of Hippo declared that prostitution was a "necessary evil" around 400 A.D., and the barbarians conquered Rome and the dark ages ensued. Aquinas c. 1225-1274 A.D. opposed it but proposed limiting legislation against it, and the dark ages continued.

Do a google search for his site, Hitler is only the tip of this guys lunacy.

I'm in St. Joe County and as of right now it appears this idiot has no money right now. The most we've heard out of him is a few yard signs and the media skewering him for his Hitler worship the other night. Looser!

Typical Republican.

Andy K Jong II@102:
No argument here. Bavaria was not entirely innocent and they did buy into some of what Hitler was selling. I probably didn't state my thought clearly enough. This was a single incident at the start of Hitler's career. After that they turned their heads and looked the other way when they could have acted. Most didn't like Hitler personally, even though they agreed with some of his philosophy. He never really got over his poor reception and had rather seen them as the peasants living north of Austria. Generally they are a hard-headed bunch who don't like 'outsiders' telling them what to do. The perfect definition of my family.

The 1/4 of my family who might be German (Polish or Wendish, maybe, but Lutherans, definitely, from Vormern Pommern, probably) are certainly hardheaded, but seeing that they came to Algoma, WI in the 19th century and got to Muskegon by way of Gladstone, they were fully Americanized by the time my dad was born. None of us grew up knowing what the Bund is, and Hitler just wasn't one of us (and he was probably Czech in the first place, but the way one's family became German under the Hapsburgs is...interesting).

My high school soccer coach was from Hamburg, and was Hitler Youth as a kid. Leading member of the German Club here in GR. But he never had a good word for Adolph. He figured out at an early age that the family he lost in the fire-bombing were killed because of Hitler. The only thing he ever said that could be remotely construed as racist was that we could never hold a candle to 10 year-old German footballers. He was probably right! :D

That's what happens when you have an uninformed citizenry...........BEYOND MIND BLOWING.........yet, people voted for little Adolph.........how cute and sunngly, buggly.........THEY MUST BE STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

[Deleted].............Unless this is a joke??????

Everyone around the country call and complain........this is not Nazi Germany, boyz..........wonder how our troops would feel about this jackass.

Guess the state legislature would be the place to call?

I heard a baby booing..
Go baby!

P.K. McBurroughs @ 100:

Celebrating Hitler's birthday? Forced separation of the races?

Are these the issues Americans really care about?

What I, and the mainstream media want to know is: does the man wear a lapel flag pin???

I see 2. But they are to big, and with a little eagle on top.
To be used up the ass.

If this guy wins his primary on May 5th, he'll be the poster-boy for Republicans nationwide.

FC @ 22:

"St. Joseph County Republican Party is trying to distance themselves from Zirkle": OMG they haven't expelled him already?

Zirkle's probably a little too far left for the modern Nazi Republican Party...

Almost younger than John McRepublican...

I have a saying, look for the thing the person yells loudest about being bad and you have just found what he is guilty of. I bet Tony has a basement full of porn and will one day get caught with a prostitute.

"the St. Joseph County Republican Party is trying to distance themselves from Zirkle..."

One party member suggested stuffing Zirkle in a refrigerator and shipping him to Guam.

Paraguay would probably take him.

Nazi racist azz munch

With all the warrantless spying, preemptive wars, false flag attacks and corporate fascist cronyism going on in Washinton, this guy will fit right in, don't you think?

Just wait, the story on this guy being a child molester will be out soon.

I think what really embarrasses the Republicans about this is the lack of flag etiquette--doesn't Zirkle know that the US flag is supposed to be on its own right. Geesh! And he wants to be the GOP nominee without the basics--why didn't he insist on switching the flags before speaking? (Then we would have a video of him hoisting the one on the right.)

Forstyan I agree with you about how scary this is.

Just now I tried to make some snarky joke about pins,repugs and Obama but I couldn't this is beyond joke's and snark's.This shows what the Republican's are becoming.

please C&L keep this video up for a few days till I saw this I thought this was somekind of snarky rumor joke.

People who live in irrational fear. It matters not what your education is, paranoia, hatred, and prejudice have nothing to do with logic. If they were smart they wouldn’t fear minorities but rather Caucasians’ who won’t stand for their myopic mentality. Maybe few burning crosses in their front yards and a noose hung from their tree by a white person would do the trick, see how they like it.

Is this real? It looks like some kind of sick joke.

Fade @ 24:

So, are we allowed to say Republicans ARE Nazis now?

Ha! Hell yes....if the foo shits....then...

Dateline Baghdad 2108 @ 95:

When I first moved to Milwaukee in the late 80's I visited a German Bar by Mitchell Field on April 20th (say no more as Milwaukeean's will immediately know this establishment).

A USAF refueling wing stationed at the airport had lunch at the bar and when they pulled out to return to post the place turned into little Munich. A dozen or so old Germans drank, sang, ate, had cake and relished in all things Fuhrer. It was quite interesting and a real education. The men shared glorious stories and their recollections were not those that I expected. Hitler, for all his faults, in their memory was an excellent administrator who surrounded himself with brilliant underlings that led a defeated nation out of depression in the most hostile of worlds... Russia to the right of me, England to the left. One gent, born in Hamburg, shared a story that as a child he was being bathed for the first time in weeks when his mother scooped him up naked, rushed to the underground as bombs fell on top of the two. Another man was a U-Boat submariner, one a tanker. The rest only youth albeit, Hitler Youth. Talk to the oldsters before they leave us. What they will tell you is not what history books print.

A good book for anyone interested in the real World War II is Chris Bellamy's "Absolute War, Soviet Russia In The Second World War".

Was it the Airport Lounge? West side of Howell Ave just south of the East/West runway? Typical old brick building across from St Stephen's church.

I grew up in Port Washington and Cedarburg. Lots of ex Nazi's in that area (Sensenbrenner's district). I think one of them was my dentist. He sure acted like it.

Did you see the bit about the porn dragon?

The GPD (Great Porn-Dragon) is seeking so set up this country as a Broke-Barack mountain of gay pride Obama-Nation where a nation that was conceived in liberty now conceives in illigitimacy at 40% in Indiana, where a nation that grew as a Christian lamb is now phoenix-izing itself to speak as a porn dragon. The GPD desires for all men to go the way of the dog. The GPD increases his success as he systematically genocides out the feminine bodies of our tribes.

I think he's trying to use the Republican code-words to mask the nuttier parts of his platform, but since it's all nutty, it just comes across like an insane rant.

Holy Fu*king Sh*t! I know, let's have a new holiday ... National Fascism Day!

WTF? I mean seriously, the last time I saw something this weird was in the movie "Death to Smoochy"

Remember Casablanca?

"I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you...that that sort of thing is going on here...."

Come on...who's surprised that this, this.....IDIOT is a Republican?????

Mike Royko once said the moon landing program was such a waste because one could just hop in the car and drive to Indiana, it he really wanted to visit a desolate place.

Holy Smokes!

When I saw the picture, I thought it was a goof with Photoshop. That guys a politician? Yikes!

Did you hear the baby in the background? Brainswashing from an early stage is most effective, I guess.

Amazing.

The Passionate Rusty Shackleford @ 29:

A porn-obsessed Nazi segregationist? Sounds like the perfect Republican to me.

HA! Couldn't have said it better m'self!

Please please please please please please let this hit the MSM!!!

At least he's openly nuts. I prefer my republicans to actually speak what's really on their mind. Honestly, I don't think there's much difference between this crackpot and the Santorums of the world. He's just open about it.

Kudos! Mr. Zirkle. You're the most honest republican out there.

By the way, this guy absolutely, positively is a closeted gay man. It's only a matter of time. Come out into the sunlight Mr. Zirkle. It's okay being gay.

"Man, I HATE the [Illinois] Nazi Party."

Those "liberals" fascsists...

In all fairness here he's just a candidate, there's really no way he could win the position after this. If he were an elected official there would be a much bigger outcry and he would be forced to step down. As for people making racist statements about the GOP you are just as bad as Zirkle, making derisive comments against a group of people that are just simply false. Calling all republicans racists is just stupid, is it possible that someone disagrees with you because of a fundamental difference and not because they are an ignorant racist? Idiots, you create the racial divides in this country and keep them alive and well.

You guys make me sick. So he attended an event, gee I guess that means he killed six million jews himself right?

as a Hoosier myself, I am ashamed that we still host these kind of morons. Friggin' hell, we're already known as the past KKK headquarters, so why would anybody even attempt to do this? Granted, I'm from a different district, but anybody who votes for this guy, or supports him or his policies, needs to have their heads examined.

Pepe @ 145:

Ah STFU!!! There's no way in HELL that you, him or anyone else can justify this.

Embarrassing. Meetings like this still occur in the wealthiest and the most (presumably) modern nation on Earth.

It's a shame that we have a bunch of trailer park, broken-down hillbillies denigrating Hitler's name. Hitler was a beloved, generous, compassionate, genius mind; not some degenerate, segregation, ignorant, racist, supremist scumbag.

You bunch of hillbillies need to go buy some more beer and crawl back under your rocks.
What an embarrassment you bunch of cowards are.

So nice to hear the baby in the background. I can just see it.... "Honey will you get junior's brownshirt onesy and the stormtrooper booties out of the closet?" PIGS!
